Yeah, first! Can't wait to see it!

cool.
just ordered mine can't wait to see it.

thanks

Hope you girls liked it! Can't wait to see your beads.

Do you have a picture of the bead covered in this tutorial?
Thank! :)

I just ordered mine!

Thank you for the overwhelming response!

Sorry here is the bead covered in the tutorial. It's from a set I did a while back, but it's more a technique that can be used in any bead you do. I use it in a lot of different styles of beads.

I'll post a pic of the bead alone and then the set and then how I've used the technique in other beads.

It's actually two tutorials on two different technique that are similar. The Rainbow Scale technique and the Rain Drop technique.

A few questions if you dont' mind... BTW, I love these tuts to purchase.

Is this soft glass?
Do you have a few more photos of these beads?
Does it take any special tools or glass?

Sorry for so many questions but I have purchased a few tuts that I will never be able to do because they need either expensive tools or glass that I will need to get. (trust me I don't mind purchasing more glass who doesn't want an excuse to do this :)

Beautiful...Thank you!
I ordered and already received the tut!
I'm headed out to the studio now to play....

Very cool. I'm wondering if this technique may be transferred into boro, as I am soft glass challenged . . .

Lana: I've never worked with boro before but I can't see why you couldn't use the same technique with boro. I'm sure it's probably already been doing or being done.

Tracey: This is a tutorial using soft glass, mainly reactive glass. I use Double Helix glass but you can use any reactive glass and as far as that goes the technique can also be used with non reactive glass for a different look but obviously without the reactive colors.

No special tools, you can use a press or not use a press, your beas can be shaped by hand. I'll attach a photo of the technique without using a press. In the tutorial I do use a press though.
Other than that, no special tools but any reactive glass. For the rainbow effect though I use terra or Raku or Luna2.

Yery nice tutorial - thanks so much for sharing and the time you took to make the tut. Can't wait to get home and try it.

Gorgeous beads! I was one of the ones who PM'd you about doing a tutorial and I'm so excited to see that you have done one! I bought my just a few minutes ago.

Thanks so much for sharing your technique! I can't wait to try it!

I got mine yesterday evening (well it was here!) - & I just have to say that it is the most clear concise & easy to follow tutorial ever!
I love the fact that I can see more than one step without having to scroll past a picture.
Fabulous, easy to follow, well written instructions & great photo's.

Well done Shari & Thank you :)

Well, here's a peek at a bead I made today using this tutorial. It's not a great picture, but I made a bunch of them. I'll update with a better picture when I get some spacers made. I didn't do the spots, but this is something I was kind of working on so I did the lines.

I love it Lenora! I bet the whole set looks amazing!

Thanks Shari! I have to say I think your beads are amazing!! I've been a big fan for a long time!

Awesome tut Shari!!! I can't wait to get to the torch to try your wonderful technique. Thanks so much!! :grin:

I just spent the morning at the torch with the tutorial....it's so easy to follow! Results looked amazing going into the kiln.....we'll see when they come out and if they break as I had to admire them for a LONG time......

Thank you Lynn, I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I can't wait to see what you've created! Sounds exciting!

I ordered mine a couple hours ago and am so excited to get it, I know I will be on the torch for hours after I get it, which will mean my house work won't get done but I will have beauties hopefully.
